Veneers Thorndale

What Are Veneers?

Veneers are thin, yet durable porcelain shells that are custom-crafted to fit over the visible portion of your natural teeth. They offer a laundry list of benefits and can change the color, shape, and size of your teeth so you can have a seamless smile that you won’t want to stop showing off. Because they’re made of porcelain, they resist staining and reflect light like your natural enamel does, making them virtually indistinguishable from the rest of your smile.

Typically, the procedure takes course over three visits with our team of professionals: a consultation, prepping your teeth to receive the veneers, and bonding the veneers. Patients will agree that the process is well worth the results.

What Problems Can Porcelain Veneers Correct?

If you notice that your smile suffers from not just one or two cosmetic imperfections, porcelain veneers may be the best option for you. When we bond your custom-made shells to your teeth, they will conceal a variety of issues, including:

• Severely discolored teeth that can’t be corrected with professional whitening.
• Worn-down teeth.
• Chipped, broken, or cracked teeth.
• Misaligned teeth.
• Uneven and irregularly shaped teeth.
• Gaps between teeth.

Understanding the Cost of Veneers

Veneers can create a dramatic change in your smile, one that’d be hard to get through any other cosmetic treatment. Here’s what you should know about the cost of veneers.

Cost VS Cosmetic Dentistry: What’s Right for Me? 

First of all, while veneers are certainly incredible, there are plenty of other options that can improve the quality of your smile. Many of these are more affordable than veneers, which makes them an option worth considering if you’re concerned about the cost of cosmetic dentistry.

For example, teeth whitening and direct bonding are capable of making small but significant changes to the look of your smile. They’re both on the affordable side of cosmetic dentistry and can make a massive difference in how you look. If you’re interested in straightening your smile, you may also want to spring for Invisalign or braces. These are a bit more expensive, but they can effectively fix crooked teeth or align your bite.

While veneers can be pricey, it’s worth noting that the sheer difference they can make in your smile can’t be matched. They can do a combination of all of these things—change the color, alignment, and shape of your smile—within as little as two appointments. Suffice it to say that you absolutely get what you pay for.

How to Make Veneers Affordable

If you do spring for veneers, you may be interested in what you can do to make them more affordable. We accept payment through CareCredit which will front the cost of care and allow you to pay for your treatment over the course of several months.

How Long Do Porcelain Veneers Last?

When your veneers are properly taken care of, they can last anywhere from 5 to 15 years. After that, it’s best to get them replaced so you can maintain a great-looking smile. They’re fairly simple to care for and don’t require any special maintenance. To get the most out of your cosmetic investment, be sure to brush and floss every day and rinse your mouth with an antibacterial wash. Even though porcelain is stain-resistant, if you want to keep it looking bright for longer, it’s best to avoid stain-causing foods and drinks.
